A multivallate defended settlement is a prehistoric enclosed settlement approximately 350 metres north-east of Wood House in Northumberland, England. The site is characterised by multiple banks and ditches forming concentric defensive lines, a defensive strategy typical of Iron Age hillforts and settlements in northern Britain. Such multivallate structures reflect the strategic importance of territorial control and defence during the later prehistoric period. The precise dating and extent of occupation at this particular site would be determined by archaeological survey and excavation evidence held within the heritage record.
